LEFT DIG MAN THINKING , VI.ltor'lI Remark Tended to "cduce "Swclled Head. " There nro men In high positions In New York who Ilrc a credIt to them only In their Imslnes ! ! ability. One of that sort came to the city n dozcn or moro years a o from a western town , where ho made hIs start. A gentlemen who had known hIm In his less pretentlons days called 'on him re- cently. "I sImply called to pay my reo spects , " he said , going a little lame at tbe reception he recelvClI. "I have no axes to crImi and no favors to ask. You may have forgotten me , but 1 met you several times on busIness vIsits to your old town , and I thonght I'd like to see how you were taldng to the metropolis. " "Yes , yes , " responded the man at the desk , pickIng up a pa. per , as It he were very busy , and speal < lng In the tone of. the IJerson who sIzes up other people on theIr material possIbilities. And that's all he saId. The vIsitor shook himself and got a fresh hold. "Yes , " he saId , turn. Ing to go , "I called to pay my respects , hut I dIscovered that 1 don't owe any. Good.mornlng. " Then he wallted out , and the big man had a more uncom. fortable feeling than had come to him since he had been In the bIg clty.-N. Y. Press , RIGHT.HANDED - LEFT.LEGGED. Peculiarity of Humanity That III Not Generally Conuldered. Most people would thInk that as man Is , with very few exceptions , "right.handed , " he would be at the same time "rlght.legged. " But this Is not the case. Almost every rIght- handed man uses his left leg more Uian his right. 'For Instance , most people find It much more natural to ro round circles to the rhht than to the lefl. That 11'1 ' because they start with the left leg. Delng stronger , It Is more readll ' brought Into action , and It Is { In thIs Ilcconnt that bodies of soldIery alwa 's start to march with the left foot. Almost nil courses for foot races are made out for running to the rIght , and dancers will Indorse .tho statement that the majority of movements are far more easily executed - cuted In this direction. The left foot Is the one that Is placed In the stir. rup for mounting a horse , and In jumpIng , It Is from the left foot that Ute athlete "takes off. " Thus It will be seen that , as a general rule , "right. handed" people are "left.legged. " Public Gifts for Beauty. Everett II. Barney , a millionaire of Sprlngtleld , Mass. , has just deeded an estate and a fortune to the city as the beslnnlng of a scheme of local beautification. The pla11l include a boulevard and park system to extend two miles along the Connecticut riTer. Cooperation Is called for on the part of the municIpality and by the New York , ! \ew Haven & Hartford railroad. Mr , Darney's act and William P. J..elchworth's splendid gift of a park resel'vatlon to the state of New York , recorded thus early In 190 ; , seem to promise a rare turn to the - benefactions - tions of the year. It has been charged - ed that our rich men show no ImagInation - Ination , but only method In their glv. Ing ; that they follow routine thoucl1 extremely useful lines of phllanthro. py In endowIng colleges , IIbmrles and churches. If they are to ! Jay a good deal of attention hereafter to the promotion of cities beautiful and to the preservation of nature's own art galleries , this point of criticism will kavo to be abandoned. Owes His Llfc to Umbrella , During tllo Franco.German war n man owed his life to an umbrella. He was so obviously a foreigner tllat the French arrested him as a German spy. He swore that he was English. but was dIsbelieved. A drumhead court-martial sentenced him to In. stant execution. As they led him away he Insisted on returnIng , as he bad left somethIng. He could not rc. turn , they told him ; ho was now go. Ing to be shot. Dut he must go back , he declared. What had he left ? they asked. "My umbrella , " he said. They were Instantly convinced that no one but an EntlI : > hman could be so helpless an IdIot. He was at once liberated. Fought Bears with Axes , Two woodchoppers , armed with axes , had II. battle wIth a huge black bear and four partially grown cubs on Mt. Pi co , aays a Rutland ( Vl. ) correspondent of the New York Times. They killed two cubs , but the mother and other cubs got away. Luther Weeks and hIs son Clinton felled large tree and it crashed down Into 0. clump of bushes. Angry growls followed , and the four bears , who had been hIbernating under tbe bUl.lhes , made for the men. The men fought and won. The cubs that were killed weighed 100 pounds each. The men declare the old bear was fully eight feet lonl : and would weIgh about 50C , ouade. Permanent Employment.
